Changelog Update
Agents Can Now Export Frames as PDF or PNG
🎯 What is it?
Agents can now export any Frame — the interactive visualizations and dashboards they generate — directly as a PDF or PNG file. This means any visual output produced during a conversation can be saved and shared in a universally accessible format.
💡 Why is it useful?
Until now, Frames were only viewable inside a Dust conversation. If you wanted to share a report or dashboard with someone outside of Dust, you had to rely on screenshots or manual exports. This feature closes that gap and makes it easier to bring Dust's outputs into your broader workflows.
⚙️ How does it work?
When an agent generates a Frame in a conversation, it can now trigger an export directly — producing a clean, ready-to-share PDF or PNG file. Agents can also use this capability to inspect and reason about the visual output they just created, enabling smarter, more iterative work.
✨ Concrete Use Cases
Here's how you could use it:
-
Sharing a report with stakeholders: Ask an agent to build a weekly performance dashboard as a Frame, then export it as a PDF to include in an email or slide deck — no copy-pasting required.
-
Automated document generation: Have an agent create a formatted visual summary (e.g. a project status report), export it as a PNG, and attach it directly to a Notion page or Slack message.
📈 Benefits for you
-
Save time by eliminating manual export steps
-
Share polished, professional visuals directly from your conversations
-
Enable agents to work more autonomously by reasoning on their own visual outputs
🚀 How to access it?
This is available to everyone, right now. Simply ask an agent to build a Frame and request an export — the agent will handle the rest. No configuration needed.
